  I did new post but instead of it saying blogs (2) under categories, it says:

  category
  1 (1)
  blogs (1)

  How do I get a new post to just show as another blog under category?

  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Category “1” is typically added automatically when you have deleted the default “Uncategorized” category without setting another one in its place. If you’d like your posts to be filed under “Blogs” unless otherwise specified, got to Settings>Writing, select “Blogs” from the “Default Post Category” dropdown, click Save Changes.

  To correct the post already filed under “1”, go to post editor, Category module: untick 1, tick Blogs, click Update Post.

  Although you like the category name “blogs” it’s not a very good choice. It’s better to choose keywords such as “Ataxia Blogs” and this is why. When potential readers looking for ataxia blogs to read use search engines they are not likely to type in the word “blogs”, and if they do the results will be a very large number of results. The only way to narrow their searching down and to help them to find your blog is to use Categories that are keywords, in this case, “ataxia”. I strongly suggest that you change that category name to “Ataxia Blogs” help others using search engines to find your blog.
